ST. LOUIS --Mizzou's Gary Pinkel has been named a finalist for the prestigious Maxwell Football Club's Coach of the Year Award after helping guide the
Tigers to an 11-1 overall record and Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title in the school's second season in the league.

Pinkel, finishing up his 13th season with Mizzou, has won a conference division title in four of the last seven seasons and recently matched legendary Tigers head coach Don Faurot with an all-time program-best 101 wins. This year's squad became just the third team in program history to win 11 games or more in a season.
